Chapter 382

On May 27, the second year of Zhenguan, it was time.

Tai Chi Palace, outside Daji Hall.

In the gorgeous morning glow, the Longmen Fairy Fair was officially held.

Li Shimin had already ordered people to build a high platform here, and set up a banquet. Taoist priests from various sects entered the hall one after another. Seats are farther back.

There are about 50 people in total, including old and young, men and women.

The disciples who come to participate in the Dapai are usually younger generations. For example, Maoshan only sent two disciples, one of them is Lu Chunliang, who is only in the late stage of Bigu, and the other is older, but it looks like he is in his 30s , Entering the Yin God Realm for the first time.

On the other hand, those small sects, the Taoist priests who came to participate in the fairy meeting were all gray-haired and looked like immortals. They were probably not the head teachers of the sect, but also elders.

This is also the weakness of the current Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty has not been established for a long time, and the prestige is not enough.

On the contrary, those small and medium sects that lack resources want to seize the opportunity to express their intention to take refuge.

"Strange, the time has come, why hasn't His Majesty started the fairy meeting?"

"Didn't you see that the most important position is still vacant? That's the seat of Longhushan!"

"It turns out that Master Li hasn't arrived yet, hehe, what a big air, dare to make the emperor wait for him!"

"I heard that Master Li broke into Qinglong Temple yesterday and rescued a bad captain from the hands of the evil Buddha. Could it be that he was injured?"

"Hmph, it's a pity that I was practicing in seclusion yesterday, otherwise how could I allow that monstrous monk to be arrogant?"

……

The sun was rising three poles, but Li Shimin still did not announce the start, which made everyone start talking.

Most of them are discussing Li Daoxuan and the evil Buddha Maha. Many people praised Li Daoxuan for bravely breaking into the dragon's lake and tiger's lair, but he was able to escape unscathed.

What's more, they even felt that Li Daoxuan was trying to gain fame and gain fame deliberately.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and Taoism is not a pure place. In order to compete for cultivation resources, there will be many intrigues. The reason why many people come to participate in the Longmen Fairy Fair is to make a name for themselves and gain the appreciation of the emperor.

As a result, Li Daoxuan's name had already resounded throughout the capital before the Fairy Fair even started. Whether it was the people on the street or other Taoist priests, they were all talking about Li Daoxuan.

Not everyone has participated in the Celestial Master Ceremony in Longhushan and witnessed Li Daoxuan's attack. For many people, they have only heard of this name.

Seeing His Majesty repeatedly delaying the start of the Fairy Meeting in order to wait for Li Daoxuan, some people couldn't help feeling jealous.

"Father, why hasn't the master come over yet?"

Beside Li Shimin, Princess Changle raised her face and asked.

She put on the most beautiful little dress today, and tied her hair into a long braid, embellished with golden tassels. She dressed up for a long time just because she thought she was going to see her husband.

As a result, she looked left and right, and her big black and bright eyes looked back and forth in the crowd several times, but she didn't see Mr.

Li Shimin touched her head and said, "It's coming soon."

He gave Gao Quan a look, Gao Quan nodded, and immediately arranged for someone to go to the small courtyard of Xuandu to inquire.

"Father, why do we have to wait for others? Aren't all the people in the world your subjects? As a subject, you dare to be late. Why didn't your father punish him?"

The one who spoke was Prince Li Chengqian. He was about ten years old this year. As the crown prince, he was also ordered by Li Shimin to attend the Longmen Fairy Meeting to show his sincerity.

As soon as this remark came out, Gao's complexion changed.

Li Shimin glanced at the prince lightly, and the sharp gaze immediately made the prince sit upright, not daring to take a breath.

"Chengqian, remember, to be a king, you must not only have prestige, but also be gracious, and you must know how to be courteous and corporal."

Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "Thank you for your teaching, Father, I understand!"

"After the event is over, you will be fined to copy the chapter of King Wen from "Historical Records Zhou Benji" a hundred times."

Zhou Wenwang was a corporal, and Jiang Ziya was the one who personally invited him out of the mountain. Li Shimin's move was also to let the prince learn the principles of being a corporal.

Li Chengqian could only agree, but he felt even more resentful towards the late person in his heart.

Chang Le made a face at Li Chengqian, and said with a smile: "Brother Prince, you are not allowed to say that, Mister, Mister is very powerful, be careful that he will turn you into a big fat bug!"

Li Shimin tapped Chang Le's head lightly, but the force was very gentle, and said softly: "At the banquet, pay attention to etiquette."

It's a reprimand, but no matter how you hear it, there is a taste of pampering.

The comparison between the two immediately made Li Chengqian even more depressed.

……

After waiting for a while, suddenly there was a commotion outside the palace, and with the sound of a Buddha's horn, Li Shimin's expression changed slightly.

The demon monk really came!
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the meeting, he ordered Li Chunfeng to set up a large formation outside the palace last night, hoping to trap the monstrous monk for a period of time so that the fairy meeting can be successfully completed.

It now appears that the formation has been broken.

"Amitabha!"

The evil Buddha Maha and his three disciples walked in, and the soldiers along the way wanted to stop them, but they were coldly swept away by Huan Yanzhen, and they froze there, unable to move, showing a look of panic.

"It's a Turkic demon monk!"

"Why did this demon monk come to the Longmen Immortal Association? His Majesty obviously only invited Taoist disciples."

"Hmph, I think those who come are not kind, and those who are kind don't come!"

For a moment, the Taoists present became vigilant and looked at the demon monk with undisguised hostility.

Buddhism and Taoism are indistinctly opposed to each other, and Tang and Turks also have enmity, this evil Buddha Maha will naturally not be welcomed by the Taoist sect.

Maha clasped his hands together, Buddha's light bloomed all over his body, and a divine ring appeared behind his head. It looked like a Buddha walking out of a mural, which shocked everyone.

The two generals, Yu Chigong and Qin Shubao, immediately guarded the emperor, their eyes fixed, and their hands on their swords.

Li Shimin waved his hand to stop the two of them, and said calmly: "Today, at the Longmen Immortal Fair, I only invited Taoist disciples. Your Excellency, as a member of the Buddhist sect, please go back for now. I can forgive you for breaking into the palace."

Huan Yanzhen sneered, and said: "Yesterday, my family teacher let Li Daoxuan go for His Majesty's sake. He has already made an appointment. Today, he will ask His Majesty to agree to something at the Longmen Fairy Meeting. Is Your Majesty going to miss the appointment?"

"Hahaha!"

Li Shimin laughed loudly and said: "I never made an appointment with you, it was just your wishful thinking."

Participating in the Longmen Immortal Association, there were also some ministers from the court, and among them was Wei Zheng, who was known for his upright admonition.

Wei Zheng was not afraid, and reprimanded: "It's impolite for you to come here without warning, and now you force your way into the palace and refuse to worship the king. Could it be that the Turkic country is full of barbarians like you who don't know how to behave?"

Facing this famous minister, Maha's eyes moved slightly, and his calm voice echoed in everyone's ears like a loud bell.

"Master Wei is famous all over the world, and he should also know that the kingdom of heaven does not worship the lord of a small state."

"After the Weishui alliance, I Turkic is the master, and Li Tang is the minister. Since ancient times, only the ministers kneel to the Lord. How can there be any reason for the Lord to worship the ministers?"

 Thanks to Zhuzhu's Wild Hope for the two hundred rewards, love it!
